My Take
Christine Lakin fascinates me as a case study in surviving child stardom. Known first as Al on Step by Step, she could have faded the way so many sitcom kids do, but instead she diversified relentlessly, stage, film, voice work, and now Joyce Kinney on Family Guy. Even her Razzie for Worst Screen Couple I read charitably, as proof she took risks and kept working. The UCLA degree and her move into directing tell me she is sharp and unafraid to step behind the camera. That kind of stubborn reinvention is what separates a working actor from a flash in the pan.
